They’re great as part of a weight loss plan or a regular healthy diet

You can fix it a million ways

To make it super easy to have a healthy breakfast ready in minutes everyday, I make a big batch of steel cut oats Sunday night and microwave a single serving every morning. Steel cut oats are a little more expensive and take about 25 minutes to cook, but they’re practically un-processed. I also prefer the texture of them to regular oatmeal. My favorite way to fix it is to stir in vanilla protein powder (about 1/2 a scoop) and heap fresh strawberries or blueberries on top. The protein powder adds some calories, but its good for my muscles and keeps me feeling full. Plus it adds some sweetness to the oatmeal. The berries are sweet, packed with antioxidants, and they add a fresh, cool contrast to the warm mushy oats.

I love the idea of Sunday night bulk cooking! This is the perfect information to lure me out of my easy single serving oatmeal packets. I adore new ideas that get me farther and farther away from processed foods. Thank you so much for sharing!
